I can just not display the new message type in my own chat client and parse out the XML, duh... :).
Cheers,

Sending XML Payloads with your messages is perfectly legal. Just put it under the root message node like so.<message to='' from='' type='mycustommessage|chat|whatever'> <body>If you had my client you would be getting Bridge information.</body> <subject>bridge</subject> <mydata xmlns="my:custom:namespace"> <bridgexml> more data </bridgexml> </mydata> </message> If you implement your own namespaces you aren't constrained by the jabber:x:x namespace specs (although jabber:x:oob is pretty open-ended). Also, it is not allowed to use a "jabber:mynamespace" namespace that isn't in the spec. Hope this helps.

Brief description of what we're trying to do: - our project is a Bridge Bidding tool, it allows two players to 'practice' bidding hands over the Internet - we decided to use the JabberCom object, and use it for our embedded chat client (so they can discuss things from within the program) - when I saw I could send XML strings using Jabber, I thought I'd use that also for one client to talk to the other one (passing strings representing each player's hand of cards, what bid they're making, and so on). I'm having a little difficulty working out if it is even possible to send my own (somewhat limited) dtd or basically arbitrary data from one client/jid to the other (I don't care if it has to go through the server, I just want the server to forward it to the other client). Actual messages are no problem, but the documentation doesn't clearly guide me as to how to do that (much of it being in the form of proposals I guess so I'm trying to do things that aren't implemented it seems). I've seen things like jabber:x:data - which sounds like it would do, or jabber:something:oob. The protocol document was a good start, where do I go from here? The two clients can message successfully, so, it's a matter of working out how to send xml from one to the other (assuming I can) that contains my application's data. Any pointers or references that google isn't turning up for me that anyone can think of?
